How can I get this trigger condition to work?

[Dan Power]

Hello,

I am trying to get a trigger condition like this to work:

$EXPRUNTIME > $ACTIVE_TIME

Basically, I am setting Expected Runtime [Sec] to a value that I expect to always be lower than the Active Time so that I can detect when it has run way to sort of the time expected. Despite being able to capture good values through parameters:

 AT    RESULT  false  $ACTIVE_TIME
ERT  RESULT  false  $EXPRUNTIME

I cannot get the above condition on my trigger to work. If I change the condition to just true the trigger triggers just fine. So, there has to be something wrong with my condition. I suspect on of the values is not set correctly at the time the condition is evaluated but does get set correctly for the result parameters. Is this a function of the trigger type? How can I get this condition to work? I even tried to use the parameter names in my condition and it still does not trigger.

Hello Dan,

the problem arises because using string compare is used which makes 10 smaller than 9.
Explicitly cast  parameters like:
int($EXPRUNTIME) > int($ACTIVE_TIME)

This should do the job.

Thank you so much. That worked.
